Adviser to take off in Poland with Małopolska carrier

"We plan flights from Kraków to Gdańsk, Poznań, but also Berlin. Services are mainly directed at business clients from Małopolska and thus flights schedule will be adjusted to their needs," said Tadeusz Beliwar, president of Adviser. The company will launch its operations in the fall, while the maiden flight will take place by January 2006. "The total value of the project stands at EUR 8-10 million, including own capital, leasing and loans. Offers of potential investors are being assessed," said Stanisław Popów, deputy finance manager on the project. All the current development in the Polish air industry could well threaten the position of the national railway PKP, especially on the longer routes. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 4) M.M.
